산업 패러다임과 트랜드의 변화 속에서도 저성장, 고령화는 뉴 노말 시대의 가장 큰 문제점으로 대두되고 있다. 이에 따라 각자도생이 필요하며, 결국 창업이 대세인 시대가 되었다. 성공적인 창업을 위해서는 많은 준비와 실패 노하우의 축적이 필요하나 실패를 용납하지 않는 우리 사회분위기상 이는 쉽지 않다. 조사에 따르면 창업 장애요인으로 '창업실패 및 재기에 대한 두려움', '창업 준비부터 성공까지의 생계유지'가 많은 부분을 차지하고 있다. 이러한 장애요인을 줄이는 방법으로 Hybrid창업을 제시할 수 있으나 국내 많은 기업이 직장인의 겸직을 제한하는 탓에 Hybrid창업이 활성화되지 못하고 있고 관련 연구도 거의 없는 수준이다. 그러나 52시간 근무제로 직장인이 투잡(two-job)을 통한 수익창출 기회는 증가하였고, 고용불안과 은퇴이후를 고민하는 직장인들이 우회 창업하는 경우도 적지 않다. 이러한 Hybrid창업 현상은 조기은퇴, 고령화의 영향으로 계속 증가할 것으로 예상됨에 따라 관련 연구를 축적할 필요가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 직장인의 Hybrid 창업의도에 미치는 영향요인을 탐색하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 직장인의 창업가 특성, 창업역량, 경력지향성과 Hybrid창업의도간의 관계와, 직장인의 조직불안 인식의 조절효과를 검증하고자 한다.
